Description
The COROS POD Performance Optimisation Device offers an in-depth review of your running data to provide the tools necessary for improving your form. Not only does good form improve efficiency, but it can also reduce running-related injuries. Simply sync the POD with any COROS GPS watch or the COROS app, clip it to the back of your waist belt, and start running to receive your personalised data.
The POD tracks beneficial information such as running power, efficiency, stride length and height, left/right balance, and more. With all of this info at your fingertips, it’s only a matter of time before you start to adjust and improve your form.
Features
- Clip-on device that measures your running dynamics
- Running dynamics include:
- Power Analysis
- Power: effort measured in watts
- Run Efficiency: speed to power to weight ratio
- Left/Right Balance: balance between your strides
- Stride Height: how high you get off the ground
- Stride Length: distance between each stride
- Stride Ratio: ratio of stride height to stride length
- Ground Contact Time: measured in milliseconds
- Cadence: steps per minute
Power UpEver been told by a coach or running buddy to run how your feel? Not quite sure how to gauge effort – well now the POD takes away the guess work. COROS POD taking into account your weight, speed and several other inputs will calculate your Running Power laterally, vertically and most importantly horizontally (forward propulsion). Running Power along with other key metrics like HR is a great tool to measure effort, as it will take more power to run uphill as it does to run the same pace on flat terrain.
Improve your FormThe COROS POD provides several great metrics to improve your running form. Some like Cadence and Stride length are offered on our GPS watches, while the POD also introduced new stats such as Stride Height, Ground Contact Time and Left/Right Balance. Elite Runners run faster and longer, because they spend less time on the ground, while using nearly all of their energy to move them forward rather than into the air. By staying closer to the ground, and having quicker steps, they also typically have a higher cadence (180 Strides or more per minute). A left/right balance that deviates too far from 50/50 can indicate an impending injury. Use these data points to improve your form, avoiding costly running injuries.
Clip on and Go!While pairing your COROS POD with an existing COROS GPS Watch will enhance your overall experience, the POD also works on its own via the COROS App. If you do not yet own a COROS GPS watch, pair the POD with the COROS app on your phone, select the designated run mode and just start running. When you finish, view all of your great data instantly on the COROS app and sync your info to third party sites like STRAVA or Training Peaks.
